Sounds intriguing—let’s keep it low‑noise and high‑accuracy. We’ll wire up a few low‑power IoT nodes: a pH sensor, a dissolved oxygen probe, and a turbidity sensor, all feeding into an MQTT broker. A tiny Python script can log the data, compute moving averages, and trigger alerts when thresholds are breached. I’ll draft a quick schema and a sample code snippet so you can get the network up and running in the swamp. Let me know the exact specs and I’ll fine‑tune the code.

Here’s a quick spec: pH sensor accuracy ±0.05 pH units, sampling every 5 minutes; dissolved oxygen probe ±0.2 mg/L, also 5‑minute intervals; turbidity sensor ±1 NTU, same rate. MQTT broker: broker.swamptech.local, port 1883, use TLS if you can. Alerts: push to your swamp app via a lightweight HTTP POST, and fallback to email using a simple SMTP relay (you can set the address later). I’ll include a small edge node sketch for a ESP32‑c3 that runs on a 5 W solar panel with a 4 Ah battery, pre‑processes the raw data, does a 10‑sample moving average, and publishes only when the change exceeds a threshold—keeps the bandwidth low. Once you give me the final broker creds and any credentials for the app, I’ll tweak the code accordingly. Let’s get the swamp singing.
